Question on SR6500 Install

Greetings everyone. I have been in the market for a major aftermarket upgrade to my car audio system (2005 Dodge Dakota ExtCab) since I purchased my home theater system approximately 3 years ago. I have always been a fan of Polk products and have listened to the SR6500's several times at Tweeter and other retailers, while reading the literature on them an have decided to build a system with a pair in the front, no rears for an improved image, an Alpine 9861 head unit, a JL Audio 300/2 amp for the fronts and a 500/1 powering a 10W7 in the rear. So, I'm looking at a reasonable amount of hardware for a SQ system.
My question relates to the install on the SR6500's. I have read recently in CA&E about the benefits of installing drivers in a customized enclosure to improve midrange bass response, as well as other things. I am wondering about the recommended size on a sealed box for these speakers, and the feasibility of such an install in the front of my truck. Don't mind some custom work as I was planning on custom kicks anyways, but I would like an idea if anyone else has done this or if I can steal a Polk Installer's opinion. Thanks a bunch.

Sorry, this appears to be in the wrong thread. If it could get moved to the correct one? Thanks

no, this is okay where it is
as far as enclosures go, since you're using a sub, basically all you're looking to do on the mids is contain the backwave... to that extent, anything from ~200-~600 cubic inches will do fine... larger and there's very little point to the exercise, smaller and you lose extension...It's not good, very fundamentally simply not good. - geolemon
